Great Value!

So pleased with the value of this tv that my best friend got one for herself. It was packaged very well. Easy assembly simply adding the legs and I loved that a small Phillips screwdriver was included. It’s the perfect size for a relatively small living room. I was concerned it might be too large. The video quality is gorgeous. And the surround audio setting eliminates the need to purchase a sound bar. Light enough for a 5 foot tall middle aged woman to lift. Setup was super quick and easy. Paired easily with my cable remote. I’m trying to come up with an excuse to buy another one.

Great product with a great picture at a good price.

Good price and high quality. I have several old style game consoles, this TV has enough varieties of input connections (1 x Component/Composite Video, 4 x HDMI, 1 x Headphone, 1 x Optical Digital Audio, 1 x RCA Audio L+R, 1 x RF (Coaxial), 1 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB), so I can make connections without of using converters.

Awesome TV for the price the 4K UHD is great! Spent the first couple of hours watching it and saying "Wow" The TV levels the sound so no extra loud commericials

-March 23, 2018

I am very pleased with the purchase of this TV. Everything is clearer,and the sound is good. There is the pop of more colors better definition. Even old programs are sharper. I only paid 30 dollars than the 1070 model which is a good TV, but this one is far superior. I am very happy with this purchase. The sound is better than my son's Sony TV.

Time will tell but right now its a super value for what you get. If you're looking for fancy features and a smart TV, this is not for you. If you want excellent picture quality at a great price in a basic TV, this is for you.

-February 13, 2018

The picture quality. However, some DVDs dont show up in 4k so we have to purchase a 4k uhd compatible DVD player. Sound is amazing but so loud at volume 9, dont even need speakers! Overall a fabulous tv and best one I've owned.

easy assembly and set up

Great 4K computer monitor, replaces 4 monitors

Ignore all the reviews of damaged displays. Those are misplaced reviews of bad shipping and should not be attributed to the TV. This is great display for a large computer monitor. I replaced 4 HD monitors with this monster and was able to get rid of lots of cables. To use as monitor, change the picture settings to prevent smoothing so you can read the small text in the native 4K resolution. You'll need to enter the factory menu and do this: 1. Press menu on the remote 2. Type 7343 and wait 3 seconds 3. Choose Picture Curve 4. Go to Curve Setting and choose "Sharpness" 5. Set all the parameters to "0" That's it. Picture will look much sharper, although it may be too sharp for regular TV viewing. If your computer uses mini DisplayPort, you may need to get an Active mini DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter. Otherwise you may not get the full 4K to work. I had to do this for my Surface Book 2. It looks great and for $300, it is way cheaper than 4 HD monitors. Time will tell how long it lasts. So far so good but it's only been a week.

Love it!

It was perfectly shipped, ie; no damage inside or out. It is a huge TV and a step up in size for us. Setting it up took nothing more than a few moments. We couldn't be happier with the picture quality. Like a lot of flat screen TV's the sound is lacking if you are a connoisseur of sound, which I'm not, but others in the house are. However, we bought a sound bar at the same time anticipating this.

Great TV

Just purchased this week. We love this TV !! Picture and sound are super. I am hard of hearing and the sound is beyond my needs at 70 years of age. Bought this TV at Walmart at a super buy. Thanks Sceptre !!

Satisfied!

Just got my new TV all hooked up yesterday. We are very satisfied thus far. Only one small bit of criticism: the sound quality is a bit "tinny." With a little adjustment to the built in equalizer or by hooking it up to a stereo/sound bar, the problem is solved, though.

Great base level 4K device

Nice 4K picture for a rock bottom price. Easy automatic switching between resolutions. Clearly labeled A/V ports. Digital tuner programmed more off air channels than previous TV in same location. No HDR support... but it isn’t marketed as such at this price point. Just FYI. Standard remote is subpar, but functional. We use a separate universal utilizing a Sony remote code. No issues. Overall pleased for what this is: base level 4K device.

Picture quality is great! I bought it during Black Friday so originally my tv was lost and had to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive but it didn’t let me down. Only problem is sound quality. It’s not totally bad but not really great either. But for this price? I’d recommend it for sure!

4K UHD, ?????

It's a matter of price, in that department it can't be beat. I am a bit disappointed with the picture. I expected so much. Fact is it is not as good as he 4 year old 60" Vizio in my living room. both use the same STB, and I added hi-speed HDMI cables to the new set. It is adequate for my bedroom. I hope it lasts about 3 years.

-November 30, 2017

Love my tv and very happy I chose this brand. Was very easy to set up. As a matter of fact it's the easiest tv I've ever set up. Literally took me lest than 10mins to set up and program. The price was ridiculously great for a 50" tv.

Great buy!

We received this TV and had it hooked up and going easily & quickly. The colors & definition are quite good. Setup via the program was easy. This is a great TV for those who, like us, did not want a "smart" TV. Even though it is not considered a "smart" TV, you can hook up most things to it. The only down side on this is the sound, which could be better, but I hooked up my PCM speakers and it booms. Great value!

Very good value for the price.

For the money I paid for this set, it far exceeded my expectations. I should note off the bat that this set does NOT have HDR or any smart features, but I did not require smart features as I have a Roku and HDR is not all that impressive unless you want to spend a very large amount of money on a set that does it right.
Design: The set looks very nice from the front. It has a brushed metallic bezel at its front which gives it a nicer look. The screen is glossy so if there is a source of light parallel to the screen, issues could be had. A somewhat bright LED is in the bottom-left corner which turns blue when the set is on, but red when the set is off. The set’s bezel is slim and there is a chrome “Sceptre” logo at the center-bottom which looks nice. In terms of thickness, the set is not super-thin. It’s moderately thick for a LED but juts out further at the center of its back where the ports/power cord are located. All ports are easy to access either from the side or bottom. The power cord is attached directly to the set and cannot be removed. The VESA mounting points (400 x 200) jut out a little and are not obstructed, so the set is easy to mount or attach an aftermarket base to. The biggest knock on the design is that the cable/antenna coax input looks like it was hastily added to the set and wobbles a little when you move it or an attached coax cable, but the tuner works for for my antenna.
Picture: Outstanding for the price. My TV does have a single dead pixel (not noticeable unless you’re very close to the TV and specifically looking for it), which is unfortunate but common on 4k displays. Other than that, I have no complaints. There are no major backlight bleed issues that I can see and the panel uniformity seems good. Black levels are surprisingly good and motion blur is not an issue. Unlike a lot of “off-brand” TVs, you can adjust the backlight, which is a very welcome addition. The MEMC Setting (the 120hz effec

Great Picture Great price

I was very skeptical at first not getting a known brand. But I took the chance and I am very happy with my choice and you will too...
Take a chance and if I am wrong send it back you have time to return it for refund.
Thanks for listening

One thing I don't like about it

It is a good tv. Has good volume and picture. I have one big gripe however: there is no add channel feature for the digital channel search. If your first search did not find all of the channels, to try to find more channels, you have to do a new search, which wipes out the channels it did find. My last tv had the simple feature "add channel" so that it saves the channels it found and simply adds more that it possibly finds. I'm so irked by this, I had to get on here to vent--ha ha ha.

Great picture.

This TV was very easy to set up. I am not very good with technology, but with the instructions & labeling on the TV, it was a snap.
I am very happy with my TV.

Sceptre U515CV-U-50"

I paid less but even at $330 , it`s worth it. When I first got it , I didn`t realize my cable box was set to 780p. Once I changed it to 1080p , it was great. Remember , if you get a picture that doesn`t seem as good as it should , it depends on how it`s broadcast. I t`s not the TV. Not much is broadcast in 2160p if anything.

4 star TV for a 2 star price

The reviews were accurate, the image is great but not as grand as a 1000 dollar set and the reviews about the sound were very accurate. Its not great. However It has a built in equalizer which I plan on tinkering with when I do a little more research. for the price its a very decent buy.

Unit arrived in good shape & 1 day ahead of scheduled!!!!!! After one week of operation the video started to blank out for short periods of time. Contacted customer service and got a replacement with out any problems or questions. Happy so far with the replacement, picture is outstanding, I cannot really comment on the audio since I am almost deaf and wear two hearing aids.

Great picture,good sound.

I bought this 50 inch, sceptre 4k tv about a month ago. The picture is great,especially while I'm watching sports,in which I always do. Moreover, I read some complaints about the sound being (not that good),in which I can't seem to agree with. Consequently, raising the volume three quarters of the way,runs me out of the room. This tv also changes automatically,from we switching from watching cable/directv from dvd player or chrome without me having to use the remote to change the HDMI settings. I couldn't do that on my prior 32' VISIO TV. Overall, this has been a great investment so far.

Nice

Great Picture!

I was given this TV as a gift for Christmas, and it is great. The picture quality is magnificent. The assembly was quick and easy, and they include a screw driver to assemble it with.
I am quite happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Easy to assemble, set up. The picture is real good for the money paid. Only complaint is that to change the channel, have to click through them one by one until you arrive at the channel number you want, When you enter, say ch 55, it blinks twice and goes to ch 1.103....no way that I have found to put in ch 55.1.... If you enter ch44, blinks twice and goes to ch 1.103.... and so on. Maybe there is a way to change this but there was no owners manual with it. Have only had for 2 or 3 weeks so far. Will google this later. Meanwhile will do serious channel surfing to get to the channel I want.

Just a TV

If you're just looking for a regular TV that works good, get this one. If you're looking for a smart TV with 120 refresh rate then don't get this one. The picture quality in this TV is pretty good I'm not sure if it's 4K like it claims to be but it looks more like 1080 resolution to me. When compared to my older Samsung 1080p there is not much difference. The sound quality is not that great you'll need to hookup some sort of sound system. Overall the TV is great for the kids to play video games or watching cartoon network. I ended up connecting my computers logitech sound system it's nothing fancy but gives it a nice bass and good enough for the little ones. The logo on the front of the tv fell off, they were stickers. Pros Nice pic Very light Lots of HDMI CONNECTIONS Simple Cons Sound sucks Only 60hz rr

My first 4K tv

This replaced a 42" Panasonic plasma that I loved but I wanted to try a 4K tv. Really good picture from my satellite receiver which only puts out a 1080 signal. I dropped one star for the lousy sound. For the price I feel I got a good deal.

Excellent Value!

As a young college student. I simply can't afford the larger brand names. I wanted an affordable 4K experience and sceptre delivered. I've never purchased a large tv before so I didn't know what to expect. I was happily surprised to see excellent packaging, good instructions and a very easy setup. I had friends who bickered with me about the low cost. But I got no complaints when they came over to play ps4! All in all so far it's a two thumbs up experience. Thank you sceptre for allowing this guy to get into 4k

easy assembly and set up

great picture, great price

Short and sweet..
Got this tv for about 350.
Great picture for the price
Looks like a quality product
Came packed nicely with tool (magnetic tools at that) big plus here.
the only reason I gave it four stars is the sound quality leaves something to be desired. With that said most tv's nowadays do. My buddy paid 300 more for a LG 4k and they sound and look about the same.
I also really like the translucent menu option in the pic.

Great for price!

We got this TV 3 days ago to replace a 10 year old Hitachi 50 in LCD rear projection TV. Setup was easy and picture clarity is great. Sound helped by being connected to surround system but otherwise cannot beat this TV for the price.
